I have got SPRadGrid to work on SP Lists but when I open up the Designer and click data binding I only see about half of my SQL servers to choose from. The account I am using should have read access to more; is there a way to force a data binding through the web part? Thanks.

Hello Scott,

SPRadGrid has been designed to use the ADO.NET mechanism for listing Sql Server instances so that our customers not be required to install additional components on their client machines. Unfortunately, MS admit that the listing of the SqlServer instances may not be complete and may vary on two consecutive calls. You can find more information on that in the following msdn article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a6t1z9x2.aspx

Furthermore, do make sure that the machines which sql server instances are not listed have the Sql Browser Services started and if their behind a FireWall the Sql Browser Service port/ports should be exposed.

Hi Scott,

Unfortunately, it is still not possible to hardcode the Sql connection string - however, our development team will do its best to add it among the other improvements for the SharePoint web-parts for the Q1 2011 official release which is about  a month away.
